Chapter 328 Another Threat

Mist and rain is a special meteorological phenomenon. On rainy or foggy days, the density of raindrops or fog droplets is relatively high, forming a thin mist like smoke that permeates the air.

Lin Qiqi walked in the mist with an umbrella, her tall figure looked like a fairy in the clouds.

"There's someone down there!"

As she walked along, she found several shrines, but her job was to find people, so she just observed the styles of the shrines and noted their locations, then continued forward. When she was walking across the stream along a wooden bridge, she found a person standing under the bridge.

After taking a closer look, her eyes lit up and she immediately called out, "Wu Rui!"

But Wu Rui under the bridge didn't move.

This made Lin Qiqi's heart skip a beat.

"Could it be, he died again?"

She didn't plan to take a detour, so she simply climbed over the railing and slowly climbed down along the bulge next to the wooden bridge.

When I got closer, I saw that Wu Rui seemed to be staring at the river.

Some trance.

His body was shaking, and he looked like he would fall headfirst if he wasn't careful.

Lin Qiqi rushed over and pulled the other person back.

Wu Rui seemed to be awakened by someone. She was stunned for a moment and turned her head to look.

"Lin Qiqi?"

The relationship between her and Lin Qiqi is very strange. Although they are in the same camp because of Luo Xi, they seem to be competing with each other.

Of course, in Lin Qiqi's eyes, a "little beauty" like Wu Rui poses no threat, so she doesn't actually care about some of her past "provocative" behaviors.

"Finally found you. Where are the others?" Lin Qiqi asked while checking.

Wu Rui was fine. Apart from being soaked, she had no other problems.

Of course, judging from her appearance, there was a high chance that she was entangled in some kind of curse again.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be like that just now.

Sure enough, Wu Rui would turn her head and look to one side from time to time, but in Lin Qiqi's eyes, there was no one there.

Lin Qiqi asked again, and Wu Rui came back to her senses.

"I, I don't know. Things are a bit strange. I seem to be a little bit wrong." After recalling the situation, Wu Rui discovered the problem.

She actually forgot how she got separated from the others.

Brother Mao, Ke Lan and Guo Zening, they were clearly acting together before, but as if in a trance, she was the only one left.

And she had no recollection of when the terrifying curse followed her.

At this moment, the female ghost covered in blood was holding her hand tightly, twisting her head, laughing strangely, and staring at her with a look that could make people emotionally broken and crazy.

Even though this wasn't the first time he had been involved with the Grudge, it was still hard to adapt to and get used to this kind of thing to the point of completely ignoring it.

"If you can't remember, don't think about it. Your soul is very weak now, and it's flickering. But don't worry, we are here, Luo Xi is here." Lin Qiqi said.

"Luo Xi?" Wu Rui was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened. Her eyes, which had been a little dazed, seemed to have regained their brightness. "Where is Luo Xi?"

"He is investigating the scene and asked me to find someone. Come with me. I will take you to see Luo Xi in a while." Lin Qiqi looked at the time.

There were less than twenty minutes left until their agreed meeting time.

She planned to look around again, and if she found nothing, she would return to the shrine on the other side of Suicide Lake.

Wu Rui nodded.

Suddenly, she frowned and touched her forehead.

"What's wrong?" Lin Qiqi was really worried that something might happen to the other party at this time.

"I seem to have forgotten something very important." Wu Rui's face was pale, her lips were also white, bloodless, and her hair and body were covered with blood-colored rain.

Lin Qiqi immediately hugged the other person, and they shared an umbrella. Noticing that Wu Rui was shaking violently, she simply took off her coat and put it on Wu Rui.

"Luo Xi has already understood some of the rules of this place. One of them is that if you are killed by the curse, which is the so-called suicide, a part of your soul will be left here, and the residual soul will become a new curse. He is sure that these residual souls contain some memories, so it is normal for you to forget some things. After all, you have died here twice."

After listening to this, Wu Rui thought about it and immediately shook her head: "No, that's not the case. What I mean is that I seem to have forgotten something very important about today's events. According to what you said, even if I have lost my remaining soul, it is the memory from before, not today. I remember a very important event that happened today, but I can't remember it."

Wu Rui's mental state was very bad at the moment.

It's obviously not normal.

Lin Qiqi could naturally see that the other party's soul was damaged, but she had no way to do anything for the time being.

"If you can't remember, forget it for now. Follow me. Let's go find Luo Xi. He must have a solution."

Lin Qiqi was not lying.

She might be the one who admires Luo Xi the most among these people.

He is also someone who trusts Luo Xi unconditionally.

In Lin Qiqi's eyes, no matter how difficult the problem is, Luo Xi can solve it.

What’s interesting is that she is a very rational person, but when it comes to Luo Xi, she can switch to being an emotional person in a second. Her trust in Luo Xi can often be said to be unreasonable and blind.

Supporting the obviously weak Wu Rui, Lin Qiqi walked to the road and prepared to go back along the same route. But after taking a few steps, she heard the sound of a bell in the distance.

Wu Rui was stunned for a moment, then her expression suddenly changed as if she remembered something.

"Lin Qiqi, run!"

"what happened?"

"I remember now. Run quickly. Don't care about me and don't look back." Wu Rui said in a hurried tone, but at this moment she seemed to have lost her original trance and weakness. She pushed Lin Qiqi away and took out a dagger.

The whole person is in a state of preparation for battle.

"Lin Qiqi, I don't fucking want you to die here. Turn around and run." When Wu Rui found that Lin Qiqi had no intention of listening to her, she became anxious and almost yelled.

It can be seen that Wu Rui is really anxious.

Although Lin Qiqi didn't understand what was going on, she knew that Wu Rui wouldn't say that for no reason.

So she suppressed her curiosity and turned around, but she did not run. Instead, she took a few steps forward, took out the card book, took out her [Magic Ring] and [Magic Wand], put them on, held them in her hands, and began to recite a spell silently.

Jingle bell bell~
This time, the other party seemed to be still far away.

Then, there was another 'ding-ling-ling' sound.

But this time, the sound of the bell appeared behind him very suddenly.

Lin Qiqi's heart skipped a beat. She turned around without hesitation and released the spell she had prepared.

She is actually very talented as a witch, but when she was in Storybrooke, because there was Cinderella, a talented witch, her extraordinary talent was not fully revealed.

But in fact, Lin Qiqi was able to pass the assessment of the witch in the castle directly and smoothly, which shows that she is really capable.

Lin Qiqi is very smart.

She is well aware of the need to play to her strengths.

Therefore, her spell is released in conjunction with her professional card, which she calls the enhanced version of [Soul Shock].

This method is particularly effective in scenes with yin and yang attributes.

The spell attracted a little bit of the power of thunder and lightning, and her body changed in an instant, her hair fluttered, her eyes shone, and her whispers sounded like thunder, rumbling loudly.

Opposite her stood a very tall man dressed in black and holding a black umbrella.

The fingers holding the umbrella handle were extremely long and large, with black nails that were thick and sharp. They were several times larger than those of a normal person and were definitely not the normal size. There were also some small bells tied to the black umbrella.

The sound I heard before should have come from these bells.

The moment she saw this thing, Lin Qiqi immediately felt an indescribable palpitation, and she discovered that the other hand had already grabbed her. If she moved a little slower, she would be caught.

That hand doesn't look like a human's.

However, the opponent seemed to have also been affected by [Soul Shock].

Thunder roared, bells rang, and the next moment, the opponent's figure appeared more than ten meters away.

It wasn't like walking or running, it was like an instant transfer.

The fear in Lin Qiqi's heart immediately surged, but she immediately suppressed it by biting her lips tightly. Even though she felt like her heart was about to jump out, she remained motionless, maintaining the state of a witch under the blessing of magic.

This made her body like a black hole, absorbing the surrounding light, her hair fluttering and her eyes shining with dazzling light.

The few seconds of staring at each other felt like centuries of torture to her.

It seems that the other party is also afraid.

In a stalemate.

Just then, footsteps and conversations were heard in the distance.

Someone is coming.

The bell rang again, and the tall monster holding the black umbrella disappeared instantly. Then, screams of some unlucky creatures were heard in the jungle over there.

Lin Qiqi released herself from the witch's state. Her face turned pale, and she could hardly imagine what the thing holding the black umbrella was. Wu Rui, who was standing next to her, had already run over with gritted teeth. The two looked at each other, supported each other, and hurriedly left this horrible area.

He ran for hundreds of meters before slowing down.

"what is that?"

"I remember now. I encountered that thing every time I came here. But the strange thing is that I forgot about it afterwards. But this time was an exception. It did not attack successfully, and we escaped." Wu Rui panted heavily. Her face was pale at first, but now it was flushed.

Lin Qiqi noticed this. She looked at Wu Rui and said with some surprise: "Your soul is more stable than before."

After thinking for a while, he continued, "So that thing, once encountered, will cause temporary amnesia, or a state similar to spiritual weakness?"

"But this time, I feel very good." Wu Rui took a deep breath and clenched her fists.

"Because that thing didn't succeed, it was frightened by my [Soul Shock], and then attracted the attention of other people. No, this thing is too dangerous, I have to tell Luo Xi immediately." Lin Qiqi reacted.

Obviously, in all the previous information about Shuhai Park, there was not a single word about this black umbrella monster.

Or, they were contaminated by the curse before they encountered it and committed suicide.

Or, after encountering it, they were immediately attacked and lost part of their soul and memory.

If this is the case, it only means that this black umbrella monster is too terrifying. Once you encounter it, unless you have means like [Soul Shock], you will not be able to escape.
